Very cool, apparently if you have CELTA you do very well in South America.
That’s good to know.
Going to start mine in November. Yay.
Do you think CELTA has been the right one to take, Ceri? I was thinking of doing TEFL but I’m not sure which one gives you more practical experience before teaching.. any insight would be great!
The CELTA was definitely the right choice for me. I’d had zero experience beforehand and the CELTA made me feel confident and really comfortable in front of students. I guess I chose to do that one because it’s recognised all over the world and I know some TEFL certificates aren’t so I didn’t want to limit my options to where I could work.
Great choices. I wanted to visit Paris in my 20s too but I turned 30 this month and never did make it. SO – I’m leaving for Paris on March 1st. Not gonna wait any longer!!
I know you’re gonna have a fabulous time, Kirsten.
I love Paris too much.
Wow, awesome list! You know, I would never do your number 1 on the list. I have a fear of zero gravity… nasty memory from highschool. I was totally frozed when I saw the world’s first bungee jumping stand in New Zealand. When you do, please let me know how did you feel!!
Hey thanks for the fact about Chris McCandles. Could you show me a link where I can see his work, after it is released? Good luck with all your goals (especially number 23;)
